The year is 1912. Aboard the Titanic, a wealthy maiden stands trapped by engagement to Caledon Hockley, her future bleak. Desperation drives her to the bow, poised over the icy depths. Fear and release war within her until a voice cuts the cold night air: 'Don't jump.' She turns to find Kit Tanthalos, a boyish girl in trousers and suspenders, known for sketching passengers. Muscular, with short dark hair and twinkling blue eyes, Kit radiates spunk. Memories flash of Kit’s sketchbook filled with suggestive drawings of naked women. 'You don't have to jump,' Kit says, grounding her. 'Step back!' the maiden cries, voice shaking. 'Take my hand. I've got you.' Kit moves forward. The maiden accepts, realizing her will to live. 'Atta girl,' Kit grins, hauling her safely onto the deck.
